"Convex Announces New Ownership Structure with Onex and AIG as Strategic Investors"

"Convex Group Limited, an international specialty insurer and reinsurer, is restructuring its ownership with Onex Corporation acquiring a 63% equity stake and American International Group (AIG) taking a 35% minority stake. PSP Investments and other founding equity investors will sell their stakes, valuing Convex’s common equity at $7 billion. The deal establishes a long-term partnership with Onex and a strategic relationship with AIG, which will also reinsure Convex’s business starting in 2026.
